I found out Tuesday that my computer's "graphic's processor" died. Not good news for a graphic artist. I feel a little lost without my computer for the next few days. I should have it back by the weekend for church.

One of the nice things about being a pastor and being self-employed is that I get to work from home whenever I need to. Today I ran to the bank early while the snow was just beginning and got all my running around done.

I think that it's essential to our faith that we are real with one another and real before God. I think there are 3 levels of being real. The first is level involves masks. It's about pretending to be something we're not. It's about image and self-esteem.

Today was a different kind of day. I sang & played a song at a funeral service--"This Road" by Jars of Clay. It was for Barb C's mother. It's the same song I played in the same chapel 2 years ago at my great uncle's funeral.
